Aging and Enlightenment
from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis
This episode explores how aging is related to the spiritual life. In fact aging helps us in spirituality. It is an aid to what we call spiritual awakening or enlightenment, what Christians call salvation, the Kingdom of God or eternal life. We can see the value of aging in the four classical Indian stages of life known as ashramas. The aging process is about shedding the small self with all its attachments and identifying with the Divine Self. It is about dying to self, dying before we die so physical death does not catch us unprepared.View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
